May was full of preparation for our remodel. We packed up all the decorations, but took pictures so we can put it all back together when our project is finished. And the end of May we moved all the furniture into bedrooms and moved the boys downstairs. We are so grateful to have a full kitchen and laundry in the basement. The boys even said they feel like they are on vacation. We celebrated mothers day, Brad's birthday, and our 18th anniversary! Jefferson had his final concert on Brad's birthday but we rushed and were able to make it to Bombay House and the boys picked out the best t- shirts for him. We celebrated our 18th anniversary with lunch at Cheesecake Factory and when Brad gave me flowers Carter said "good job Dadda, now I don't have keep giving mama leaves." Apparently he has been picking pretty leaves and giving them to me each year because Brad was not giving me flowers. Jefferson and Carter both got 2nd place in their classes mile race. Everybody got hair cuts- including Miss Bella and we finished off soccer season with the bi-annual Jefferson vs. Carter soccer game and lunch and froyo. This year Carter made Jefferson work quite a bit harder. We discovered it's super fun to watch Bee's games right outside of the stadium- we got to see an overtime win with a star wars light show and the boys could run around and play catch. They asked if we can see all the Bee's games this summer! We celebrated memorial day with pickle ball- both of the boys are doing so well and we were even able to play a full game 2 on 2. Jefferson and I watched Mandalorian Season 3 and then saw the movie. The boys finished soccer season with overlapping games and parties so we were only able to get pictures of Carter's team. Both of them played so great and helped their team lots this year! We are grateful for their fantastic coaches and fun team mates. Our active Carter, who has now discovered gladiators had quite the end of the month. We started getting things ready for his baptism this summer and thankfully took some pictures before he had a major collision and accident with a friend playing football and full split his lip. We took him to the emergency room right away and got his lip stitched up. He was so brave and the most worried about missing smore night but after a little rest he joined us and even tried a reeses smore. The boys loved the magic fire colors our neighbors gave us. Just another week of school and then ready for summer!!!!!
